I’m a writer, editor and journalist with over 15 years of experience working across news, publishing, research, and academic and creative writing. I’ve led editorial projects and teams, commissioned work, and produced high-quality content to demanding deadlines. I have a particular interest in writing from and about Africa.

In 2019 I received a South African Literary Award for Literary Journalism for my work with the Johannesburg Review of Books. As editor of Books Live, I won two Arts Journalist of the Year awards, for features and news.

In my spare time I run, paint and walk my insane dogs. I’m also a puppy training assistant at McKaynine Training Centre :)
